Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight finishers Amanda Nunes and Ronda Rousey clashed last night (Dec. 30, 2016) at UFC 207 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Nunes may have been pushed to the side in promotional efforts, but “The Lioness” held her title for a reason. Having won her last four bouts, including a trio of finishes, Nunes’ had little intention of laying down and giving Rousey her strap. It’s fair to be critical of Rousey’s anti-media decisions over the past year. However, there’s no doubt that “Rowdy” came to fight last night. The former champion was in fantastic shape and was more than motivated to reclaim the crown.
